The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss program is reliant on the glycaemic index, a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the glucose and energy of the food gets changed to sugar in your blood stream. The believe is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help to take in less food without being miserabl;e. It's also extremely useful for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in minimizing increases in blood sugar levels. Superfoods containing carotenes (includes parsley, rose hip puree and tomato ketchup) These natural foods are rich in the carotenoids thought by doctors be a key nutrient in preventing cancer, spefically cancer of the lung, esophagus and stomach. A good number are low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss regime. |
